What To Expect

Pedra do Telegrafo
The hike to the peak of Telegraph hill will take about 30-45 minutes. From the top you will experience amazing panoramic views of beaches and landscapes. You will have the opportunity to take photos from the famous rock that juts out to create an optical illusion of being high above the ground with the sea below in the background. Watching the sun rise from the top of the hill is even more spectacular and memorable.

We had an amazing tour with Daniel. He was very patient and was always happy to take pictures of us! After the tour he took us to one of his friends and we had a fotoshoot with sunset for only 50R$. When we were done, Daniel waited with us until our ride came! What an incredible tourguide! Absolutely recommended!
Sunrise Hike

I hired Caoi to take me on a sunrise hike to Telegraph stone.
I felt like I wouldn't survive the hike. (no fault of Caoi, moreso my ability to climb steep hills).

However, Caoi did keep me alive. The running joke was don't die today Kelly. He pushed me to keep going when I didn't think I could make it. At the end was the beautiful Telegraph Stone where we took some fun pics hanging off the rock and seeing the sunrise.

We started hiking around 4 or 430, which was about an hour away from my hotel so my pickup was like 245 am. Rough! lol.

It's worth it to do the sunrise hike because not only do you see great coloring but you beat the lines which I heard can be lengthy and hot in the sun.

I hired a photographer that was there for 100 brazillian real and he took some great shots with orange glow behind me.

After the hike, later that day I hired him again for a personalized city tour.

It was a great day! he was fun and helpful and would recommend to anyone who likes a straight shooter like myself.
Breathtakingly Beautiful

What a Great Excursion. The hike was definitely a challenge but the end result was pleasing. If you want an exciting time and get some exercise, you gotta do this in RIO.

It was a fantastic experience. The hike was great but not too strenuous. The views was magnificent and the guide was awesome and knowledgeable.
Amazing hike with a few photo opportunities

Caio is a really friendly and fun tourguide. The hike was amazing and the views was well worth the walk! You can do this tour alone, however having Caio as your guide ensured that you didn’t get lost going up or coming down! He likes to make sure you have a photo or 500 making sure that you are happy with the instagramable money shot on the rock!! Would highly recommend.
